The "Hijo Pródigo" or "Prodigal Son" is a parable told by Jesus in the New Testament of the Bible. It narrates the story of a younger son who asks his father for his inheritance early, leaves home, and squanders his wealth in reckless living. When a famine strikes, he finds himself in dire need and decides to return to his father, hoping to be accepted as a servant. Upon his return, the father joyfully welcomes him back, celebrating with a feast. This parable illustrates themes of forgiveness, redemption, and the unconditional love of a parent, emphasizing that it is never too late to return home.
